FAQs -

Do we have to pay a damage deposit?

Vilanova Apartments takes a security deposit in the form of credit card details. In providing your credit card details you authorise Vilanova Apartments to charge your card as appropriate, for any costs incurred as a result of unreasonable neglect, abuse of the property, accidents and damage, or excess charges incurred i.e. late checkout. An additional processing & administration charge of 3% will be added to the charge. This is extremely rare and 99% of bookings do not result in further charges. (This amount or system may be different with owners of apartments not managed by us. You will be informed of their requirements directly). Minor damages such as broken glasses, plates, cups, etc. will not be charged.

The names and details of all guests must be given to Vilanova Apartments at check in or prior to arrival as agreed. If some guests arrive later e.g. on a different flight, Vilanova Apartments require their details in advance and the appropriate amount of tourist tax to be paid by the guests at check in.
